Dominion

Dominion is dark, and the angels portrayed here are scary--not the heavenly do-gooders we’ve come to know them as through other media. Based on the pilot episode, good has a long way to go before it can overcome evil--if that’s even possible.

It still has a lot of work to do, but with care, Dominion has the potential to grow into something special.

Dominion perhaps has the makings of a passable post-apocalyptic tale. But it can also be over-wrought and half-baked, with a premise that never really delivers any of the implied biblical goods.

When Dominion isn’t preoccupied with filling in its portentous back story, it provides some capably filmed action and a higher grade of acting than usual for this kind of show.

Nothing on this futuristic landscape stands out: the performances, the dialogue, the direction, the special effects. The premise is solid enough. Yet everything constructed on this foundation seems to have been fashioned from nothing more substantial than cardboard.

It's a lot of exposition to get through, and that's just what writer Vaun Wilmott and director Scott Stewart, the latter of whom also worked on "Legion," do--they get through it, with way too much talking and not nearly enough bodies exploding into acid.

Syfy's latest drama, Dominion, may be one of the dumbest, worst-acted, most poorly written series I've seen in ages. In no way should this encourage you to tune in hoping to rubberneck this bit of awfulness in hopes of creating some kind of new drinking game.

Exceptional first episode. Like Game of Thrones but with some Christian angels thrown in and modern-day tech all in a dystopia. Shocking that nobody is talking about it. Will update when I get through the first season.

Ce machin est une sorte de suite du nanar Légion de 2010, lequel faisait à peine son heure et demi syndicale, ce qui rendait déjà plus supportable sa médiocrité assez consternante, malgré évidemment le sujet toujours fascinant des anges très vindicatifs… Cette série a donc étiré une suite qui se passe à Las Vegas (c’est complètement con comme idée) et s’étire sur deux saisons à la con. Rien que le pilote s’étire lui aussi sur presque une heure et demi et les épisodes suivants continuent de creuser le filon à inepties jusqu’à l’infini et au delà… C’est bien sûr tout à fait ridicule, très poussif et plein de bavardages soporifiques alors qu’un trop plein de conneries bricolées par des scénaristes drogués et alcooliques a vite fait de nous gaver considérablement. Dans ces conditions décidément lamentables, il nous impossible de poursuivre le visionnage de cette série de merde ! on tire la chasse et on passe à autre chose.
